Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $20,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is not explicitly stated in the document. However, based on the scope of work, which includes lodging, food and beverage, retail, and camping services, it can be estimated that the concessioner will generate significant revenue. The concessioner will be responsible for operating and maintaining the concession facilities, and will be required to pay a franchise fee to the NPS. The franchise fee will be based on a percentage of the concessioner's gross revenues. The estimated budget range for this opportunity could be between $5 million and $20 million per year, depending on the concessioner's ability to operate the concession facilities efficiently and effectively. The budget will be influenced by factors such as the number of visitors to the park, the concessioner's pricing strategy, and the concessioner's operating costs.
